The man is white, about 28 years old and is 5 feet 7 inches tall. He weighs 160 pounds and has a small goatee and numerous ear piercings. Police said he was wearing large sunglasses, a dark baseball cap and black leather jacket.

The man got away with a large, but undetermined amount of jewelry, Trachta said. He was last seen fleeing northbound on Broad Street riding a motorcycle.
